Hermes Agent ships with a Kanban-style board and the Hermes Gateway that can saturate your self-hosted LLM if too many tasks are dispatched at once. I can say you can easily ddos your own LLM this way. Hermes Kanban is a durable multi-profile board backed by ~/.hermes/kanban.db . Each lane represents a phase of work, and each card is a task that can be claimed by a specific Hermes profile. Out of the box, the dispatcher can promote many ready tasks in one pass. That is fine for elastic cloud APIs, but it can overload a small self-hosted GPU cluster. If you are new to this stack, start with the broader Hermes setup and operations guide and the AI Systems pillar for surrounding architecture. This post shows how to: Understand how Hermes Kanban dispatch interacts with your LLM gateway. Control parallelism safely for heavy tasks. Batch promotions with cron so background jobs do not collide with interactive use. Monitor and tune the system so GPUs stay busy without overload.…
